The town hall is a Renaissance building, designed by the architect Cornelis Floris De Vriendt. It was built between 1561 and 1564. The town hall is largely built in the Renaissance style, although the middle part is already reminiscent of the Baroque style. The town hall has undergone a thorough restoration in 2018-2022 and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A beautiful piece of ironwork from 1490 was made out of love for a painter's daughter. The father (painter) of Catherina Heyns despised Quinten. By making this showpiece he made an impression and he was allowed to marry his daughter. In the ironwork you can recognize images of Brabo and Antigoon. From the blacksmith, Quinten was taken into the world of painting.
